I think they know that the city municipalities are going to respond to this. It's called slumlording.
Why the fuck did we give these banks TRILLIONS of dollars and now they own our cities? WAKE UP!
It's going to be a BIG problem for some time to come.

"It's not surprising that some investors may have overestimated rental returns," said Rick Sharga, executive vice president with Carrington Mortgage Holdings
No shit, really.

They couldn't squeeze enough rent out of the renters.
Yes, the thing about rents is that no one will lend you money to pay your rent.
Rents are very real in a way that prices are not.

What's that?
Go ahead….. Join their club and lose your shirt(s). Like millions before them.
They will. There are plenty of fools who don't realise they ARE the suckers in the game.

Buying a giant apartment complex and managing it is totally different than buying hundreds or thousands of SFH scattered across cities and managing them.
These hedge funds got a giant discount though-at least from what I read and I guess realized the bounce is meeting resistance and want to be out and dump it on the "retail" investor.

Exactly. Rent in my area only goes up to about $1500. Anything more than that has a very small market. So, I rather purchase $20k-$30k houses and rent out ~$600 instead of getting $1200 per month for a $120k house.

What? You mean rents can't rise above incomes without adverse effects on landlords?
